EXTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. (“IS&S” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ISSC) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2020, ended September 30, 2020.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company reported net sales of $6.3 million, an increase of 31% from $4.8 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. The Company reported fourth quarter net income of $1.2 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to $1.0 million, or $0.06 per share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. Total sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, were $21.6 million, an increase of 23% from $17.6 million for full year 2019. The Company reported fiscal 2020 net income of $3.3 million, or $0.19 per share, an increase over $1.9 million, or $0.11 per share, for fiscal 2019.

Geoffrey Hedrick, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IS&S, said, “I am pleased to report our second consecutive year of growth in revenues, earnings and cash flow, and the Company’s best annual operating profit in 10 years. We’ve achieved these results while remaining committed to implementing precautions against COVID-19 that seek to ensure the safety of our employees, suppliers and customers. As a result of this steady progress, as well as our confidence in our continued success, in September we declared a special, $0.65 per share dividend as a means to provide tangible returns to our shareholders. We remain in excellent financial condition with significant liquidity and no debt.”

“Among the many achievements driving our success was an OEM supply contract signed with Textron for our ThrustSense® Autothrottle with LifeGuard™ protection, which will now come as standard equipment on all of Textron’s new King Air 360 and King Air 260 turboprops. In addition, by working with Textron, we will be able to better pursue the significant retrofit opportunities represented by the approximately 5,000 King Air’s currently in service. And, in September, we announced that the FAA had certified our Synthetic Vision (SVS) installation and Autothrottle Upgrade for the Eclipse Jet, which marks our first upgrade offered directly to Eclipse owners. We already are shipping orders. Our strategy to concentrate our focus on technological innovation with substantial growth opportunities, continues to yield rewarding results. As a result, we are building a foundation of long-term OEM contracts that we believe will provide an underlying base of recurring production orders. Our goal remains to leverage our innovative cost-for-performance to serve the growing needs of the commercial air transport, military and business aviation markets.”

At September 30, 2020, the Company had $12.6 million of cash on hand. On September 4, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend in the amount of $0.65 per share, or approximately $11.2 million, which was paid on October 1, 2020, and which appears as a dividend payable on the September 30, 2020, balance sheet, offset by a corresponding restricted cash . Net cash flows from operating activities were $2.2 million for the year, with $1.6 million of the total realized in the fourth quarter.

New orders in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were over $3.4 million and backlog as of September 30, 2020, was $3.6 million. Backlog excludes potential future sole-source production orders from the Pilatus PC-24, the KC-46A and the Textron King Air 360 and King Air 260 ThrustSense® Autothrottle programs, all of which are currently in production. The Company expects these programs to remain in production for multiple years and that these contracts will add to production sales already in backlog.
